Transformers One, the upcoming animated movie unveiled at CinemaCon, has had its release date pushed back by two months and will now open on September 13, 2024.
The movie was previously set to roll out on July 19, 2024, but Deadline reports that Paramount has now changed its release date to later next year, meaning that fans of the franchise will have to wait a little longer to see the first animated Transformers film in over 40 years.
The last animated movie in the beloved franchise was 1986's The Transformers: The Movie, based on the Transformers television series. Toy Story 4's Josh Cooley is directing the new feature, which is said to center around a young Optimus Prime and Megatron.
Transformers One will feature an all-star cast including Chris Hemsworth as a young Optimus Prime, Brian Tyree Henry as a young Megatron, Scarlett Johansson as Elita, Keegan-Michael Key as Bumblebee, Jon Hamm as Sentinel Prime, and Laurence Fishburne as Alpha Trion.
The Transformers franchise will also get a new coat of paint when its second live-action prequel Transformers: Rise of the Beasts arrives in theaters on June 9. It's the first theatrical Transformers film since 2018's Bumblebee and the seventh movie in the live-action franchise overall.
